6 euro for a miserly ham and cheese

Had coffee and sausage roll on saturday. €5. That's ok. Had coffee, sausage roll and toasted ham and cheese today easter sunday...€11. So €6 for a two slices of what seemed like sourdough, a sliver of ham like out of a packet, and hardly any...cheese. Not first time was overcharged though to be fair owner sorted promptly Taking the piss I'll go down the road in future.More

Hi Kergman Firstly I'd like to thank you for letting me know of your experience. I've spoken to our chef, he was worried that filling the sambos and rolls too much might effect the internal core temperature, however from today onwards, we will be doubling...More

I feel gouged!

We are avid walkers and often stop here for coffees or lunch. Today after our walk we got 2 coffees and 2 cream doughnuts to take out. This was at the ridiculous cost of €13. The cakes were €3.50 each and they weren’t even fresh....Both were were hard and tasted stale. It wasn’t very appealing as they were just put into a paper bag on top of each other. No napkin or separate wrap to keep them apart. Most things in the display were priced from what saw. Very disappointing. I doubt we will be back.More

Coffee is excellent

Coffee here is excellent. Lovely people watching in this quaint little village. Almost too many cyclists around but can’t control that.

Poor quality, cheap produce, total let down!

We travelled from South Wicklow to have lunch in Poppies, a cafe that we held dear to our hearts. Fond memories of great country cooking and lovely friendly staff. Well, this was a total let down. The food was pre made, the portions outrageously small...and lacking any flavour or quality. We opted for sandwiches, wraps toasted?? and coffees. My wife had to ask twice for her tuna melt to be actually melted. Even then, after the second time of receiving it, it was handed to her cold. This is a case of an establishment living off past glories but we should have guessed, as it was the only eatery in Enniskerry without a queue. A shame, as it was such a great spot.More

Lovely brunch in a beautiful setting!

We stopped off here after a brief visit to powerscourt on our way home. It was a lovely morning and we had a a small fry and some french toast in the village square. Just lovely. Great staff and all very clean. Every table and...chair cleaned after each sitting.More

Amazing Staff

Visited on Saturday afternoon, very busy, but the welcome service and smile made everyone feel really welcome. Staff were under pressure but were very professional, everything done with a smile, no delays at all. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and coffees. Really nice to...see people enjoy their job and engage with customers. Everyone knows good service, this service was another level up. Well done to all in Poppies and thank you .More

One of our favorite spots

We love love love Poppies! Every time we are in Ireland and our favorite town of Enniskerry, we visit Poppies. We love their scones, jam and desserts and just the small town feel of it all. We were really bummed out because we visited about...a week ago to find the doors locked but with customers inside. Tried knocking but no one answered - must have had something going on. Really wanted to buy some jam but I guess there's always next time.More

Disappointing

Came here for breakfast. Not a good experience. Food wasn’t fresh, asked for Nutella pancakes and they gave us a pancake and a jar of Nutella. Crazy. Won’t be back.
